Verstappen, poker goal
2021 was the year in which he consecrated himself at the highest levels; 2022 was the year of confirmation, which also gave the measure of it on a mental level; 2023 is the year of absolute domination. And therefore, in light of the rumors that an RB20 is much faster than the already legendary RB19, what a year 2024 will be for Max Verstappen?
The Dutchman himself tried to answer at the launch event of the RB20 (live streaming here).
Verstappen's words
“I'm happy with the direction they chose. I saw the projects in Abu Dhabi, at the last race, and I said to myself: 'Wow, in a way it's very different'. They were not conservativelet's say, and this ambitious approach is what I like about this team“These are his words. “What if this will cause problems? I think it's controlled aggression. Everyone is happy, there don't seem to be any question marks“.
“We had a great package, but they they took the opportunity to be innovative and go all the wayI would say, and try to improve it“, he continued. “Of course time will tell if it's actually very good. But from what I see within the team, everyone is satisfied with the results obtained in the wind tunnel. But on the other hand we don't know. You can't control what other people do“.
